It's September and Back to School

To my seniors, I hope to make this year memorable. I love literature and the act of discovering new meanings especially when I am able to discuss a variety of ideas with you. I look forward to the conversations we will have in class this year.

English 11 students, we will start disucssing and writing about a different article of the week starting this week.  This week will be a discussion only and we will discuss  the article of Friday, September 7th during your class period. This is considered an assignment and you will receive Credit or No Credit depending on you participation.  This week's article is: One School Girl's Protest of Seventeen Magazine. Click on the link read the article, make notes on what you think is interesting, concerning and what you agree or disagree with. This is just one way that I am able to gage your ability to comprehend information and understand not only the big picture idea, but the details that help bring that 'big picture' to life.
